Buying the beef that’s the best comes with learning about animals and agriculture, and how the cattle industry makes beef while maintaining standards for proper beef production. Through sustainable environmental practices such as agricultural engineering and ensuring clean and healthy pastures, the best beef is found when it is made right. 

Holstein cows may be the top players in agriculture when it comes to making milk, especially Whole milk such as Udderly Delicious. Cows have contributed much to the environment as well as the markets for human consumption, supplying the western world with popular grocery store grabs such as cheese, eggs, yogurt, and butter. There is however, a variety of cow species, and the stocky, muscular Angus beef cattle is the largest producer of beef in the United States. With solid coats of either black or brown, the typical female Angus cow weighs between 1,000-1,300 pounds, while the male Angus bull weighs up to 1,870 pounds. It is a highly sought after brand of cattle, because of its high yield, quality marbling (fat), and tender flavor that gives the steak of your dreams its signature beefy taste. 

Angus beef is rich in protein, iron, Vitamin B. It contains a protein which is a help in the building and repair of muscle, while iron remains important to increase and maintain blood health. Angus became popular because of their quality and adaptability, and make up 60% of beef cattle in the United States. In 1978, the American Angus Association established the Certified Angus Beef brand, which has become a grocery store staple for decades. 

Beef is an excellent provider of protein for humans, and it is necessary for proper grazing management among farms. Proper grazing management, which serves a restoration for soil health leaves the cattle with a carefully measured pasture where forages can be consumed for their nutrition, as well as a formation of space where crops can grow. Proper grazing management is a skill in agriculture that enables a balance of  needs between animals and plants in a pasture. “Forages”, or cattle food, consist of legumes, grasses, forbs, and shrubs, which is important for cow health and nutrition, and also increases their productivity. When grasses become dry, farmers convert the dry grass into bales of hay. Hay is rich in nutrients and fiber and, is used to feed cattle mostly during the Winter. 

Cattle health is a very important factor in the success of the beef industry, and many agriculture professionals understand how the environment impacts the health and welfare of these animals. Genetics play a role too, and often, genetic traits are determining characteristics in a cow’s overall quality. Genetics can also be selected in the forms of agricultural and biological engineering, for the purpose of securing the best quality. Excellent genes may make a cow have improved resistance to disease, and also make them adaptable to environmental changes such as weather, like droughts or heat. 

The stages of beef production are as follows: raising cattle, processing, and distribution. Once the cows reach “market weight”, or the measurement at which a cow is prepared to be sent to a packing plant, they are processed before being sent for distribution. Meat is usually cut by butchers in supermarkets. The cut of beef can have an effect on the taste of beef when cooked. There are many cuts of beef that one can prepare in the kitchen or on the barbeque, including my personal favorites, Sirloin and Filet Mignon. Often called “Primal Cuts”, popular beef cuts include:

• Chuck: from the cow’s shoulder

• Brisket: From the chest
• Rib: A tender and flavorful cut 
• Plate or Short Plate: From the belly 
• Loin: A tender and flavorful cut 
• Flank: From the abdomen 
• Round: From the back end 
• Shank: From the thigh
